The role of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in climate change mitigation and adaptation

Believing in the serious negative effects of climate change on humanity, the United Nations General Assembly in 1988 discussed the issue of climate change and issued its decision to form the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). and this team was formed in cooperation with the Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)to carry out scientific research and evaluate information related to climate change from the scientific, technical, economic and social aspects. and this team concluded in 1990 that there are technically feasible and cost-effective measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through national measures and Regional meetings and agreements followed, with the aim of limiting the phenomenon of climate change. The Intergovernmental Authority on Climate Change has proposed a wide range of options for adaptation to climate change, as it developed an appropriate plan to adapt to the catastrophic effects of climate change on all sectors of social and economic life. politics as follows: The water sector: The scope of rainwater harvesting must be expanded and new technologies used to conserve, store and reuse water and raise the efficiency of irrigation systems using modern irrigation methods instead of surface irrigation. Governments must here provide support through grants or loans to farmers to switch to modern irrigation. And developing and raising the efficiency of water networks and systems. The agricultural sector: ensuring the adjustment of planting dates and the diversity of crops and changing their locations every season and protecting the soil from erosion and desertification by planting trees. Amenable to agriculture, providing technical and logistical support to farmers, financial support, incentives and tax reduction. Health sector: health action plans must be implemented during high heat conditions, monitoring and control of climate-related diseases, sterilization of water to make it more healthy, sewage treatment and recycling, and preparing medical teams ready to treat diseases caused by climate change. and governments here must take Taking into account climate changes and the diseases they cause, and strengthening health services. Transport sector: It is necessary to work on setting standards for the design and planning of roads, railways and basic infrastructure such as sewage to be compatible with reducing the catastrophic effects of climate change and the use of bicycles for transportation instead of traditional means of transportation that depend on fuel in its work. Governments must here Supporting the transportation industry that depends on alternative energies such as solar energy and others. Energy sector: The use of alternative renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and tidal energy must be used on a large scale instead of the sources that emit greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Governments must here support the transition to renewable energy from By granting long-term, low-interest, low-tax loans to residents, extending underground power transmission and distribution facilities, and taking into account climate change in design criteria related to energy production.

Principles of international humanitarian law the third and fourth principles

Principles of international humanitarian law the third and fourth principles The principle of distinguishing between military objectives and civilian objectives With the development of weapons of all kinds, especially the so-called smart ones, it has become possible, to strike the opponent everywhere, and at any time outside the scope of military actions, and thus the possibility of not being exposed, to the areas where civilians are present, and therefore civilians must be protected from the mistakes, and damages of war, through the establishment of controls, and restrictions To distinguish between civilian and military objectives, and to preserve human freedoms, and protect his property in times of peace, and war alike. Thus, the first Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions in, 1977, stipulated in Article 48 that," (the parties to the conflict shall work to distinguish between the civilian population, and combatants, and between civilian objects and military objectives, a

Will climate change cause the Amazon rainforest to turn into a savannah?

Forest fires and climate change Will climate change cause the Amazon rainforest to turn into a savannah?  The Amazon rainforest is well humid, but researchers around the world are increasingly asking how long this will be true.  About three decades ago, alarming research began to suggest that the cumulative effects of both deforestation and climate change could cause significant changes in the South American forest, with the forest expected to become drier and more savanna-like than Africa. Instead of lush, wet and dense landscapes. For nearly two centuries, the Amazon region has acted as a natural buffer protecting our world by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen needed for life, as these forests absorb up to two billion tons of greenhouse emissions annually, but during the past few decades unfortunately, The clearing of trees from the Amazon for the purpose of growing soybeans for livestock or animal pastures has exacerbated the drought in the region, with studies already c

Is the United States will succeed in reducing climate change?

Us and climate change Climate change , is an inescapable reality In the spring of 1933, the new President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was facing a stifling environmental and economic crisis, as the Ohio and Mississippi River basins were completely submerged,and more than a,  .quarter of Americans were out of work.  Roosevelt's response to these clashing forces, plaguing the United States, was to create a Civilian Protection Corps, that would put young men (and men only), to work in soil conservation, building streets and roads, and fighting fires.  The establishment of this civil legion, we are killing two birds with one stone,” where he meant here the first bird, is to protect the environment, and combat the catastrophic effects of climate change (global warming), and the second is to employ Americans and eliminate unemployment.   The American landscape today, is very similar to that bequeathed, by Roosevelt, as lockdowns imposed to stem the spread of COVID-1
